.front guides 2'0 until its lower edge is caught by the inclined faces 21 und deflected inward. against the front panel of the bunk, pressing all the panels backl as shown 1n "ignA 3; until it is finally positioned at the front of the bank and opposite the display aperture 22` of the casina. During this positioning operation, the e ements 4 have been riding down in contact with the rearmost panel. and the lips 14 non' engage below the rearlnost panel of the bank, which is lifted on, the next upward stroke; pushed forward by the springr 16, and positioned at the front of the bank b v the downward push of tbe pins l5, as previously described. As the lever l1. S, is operated, therefore, each panel of the bank is taken scr/'atm from the rear and displayed at the front. Stops S, 8" may be tted to limit the oscillation movement of the arms S; and instead of the ele- Inent- Je being moved bye rocking lever,I as shown, the rod (i may be lifted direct in any suitable manner. y

The 'panels may be made of aluminium7 .ardboard or cardboard protected with u metal edging, eelluloid, or any suitable material. The ad vantage of such an arrangement of display advertising' lies in the fact that any advertisement of Ithe series may be readily removed or replaced as its period expires.

I claim 1.
